Hey Mikey!

Michael Vick.

Ok, now that you're done looking at his highlight film racing through your head with him being somersaulted into the air and come back down to earth, enjoy. Michael Vick entered the league 2001, a controversy surrounding the San Diego Chargers giving up on him and allowing the Falcons to take their pick. Michael Vick has since helped lead the Falcons back back the edge of Raiders-Land aka "Who Cares about them" doldrums of the NFL, but not with wins, more so with his highlight reel thanks to the Sportscenter Nation who looks for the big QB scramble a

nd run instead of the great West Coast Offensive efficiency that leads teams to the Super Bowl. But Michael Vick has a career 53% completion percentage... whoopie... his yards per attempt is a measily 6.7 yards per... but he does average 7.3 yards per carry!

In case you can't pick up on it, this is complete sarcasm.

Michael Vick has been unable to lead a team deep enough into the playoffs, and has failed to lead them consistently that he is simply a gadget of the NFL. He is a pure, freak athlete... too bad America only wants a winner. Now that we have talked about the fact that Matt Schaub should have been the man in Atlanta because at least he could run the offense; Michael Vick the person is a much sadder story.

In 2005, Michael Vick was hit with another suit. Claiming that Vick gave her herpes, a Georgia woman sued the star NFL quarterback for negligence and battery. The suit was settled, Vick stayed out of major headlines.

Then the water bottle with the "not-so-hidden" compartment full of marijuana resin. Let's face it, marijuana smells like marijuana and not much else... and why else do you need a secret compartment on a plane especially when you know you CAN'T BRING WATERBOTTLES ON A PLANE. Thank god he went to Virginia Tech, great education, too bad Vick didn't show up for it.

Now the dog fighting, and the underworld NFL cult. Dog fighting is definitely a release for players who have since moved on beyond football and the day to day violence. True, dog fighting, boxing, UFC< all are popular events for former NFL players. But when you are the most well known man in Atlanta, and you STILL play football (for now), why would you put yourself in this situation? The fact is Vick does not care, he is a high school prodigy, college phenom and professional freak talent... and that's as far as it will ever go. The sooner atlanta sees that he is a sideshow in the NFL Sunday lineup and moves on to find a quarterback that will take them to the Big Show, the sooner we can get rid of the Vick name... maybe he can chill with Ricky in Canada after Williams gets busted again sometime in December.
